Description from the seller

Two large church candlesticks from circa 1940 to 1950, executed in Dutch Art Deco style with influences from the Amsterdam School.

The candlesticks have a heavy and architectural design, with broad clock-shaped feet, bowl-shaped candle holders, and decorative brass details. The dark patinated metal forms a beautiful contrast with the gold-colored accents. The design is reminiscent of metalwork by Jan Eisenloeffel. This is a stylistic indication and not an official attribution.

On each candlestick sits a large decorative candle. These candles are hollowed out at the top, so a smaller candle can be placed inside and replaced. Without a candle, each candlestick is 45 cm tall. With the large candle, the total height is approximately 107 cm. There is also a plateau on which you can place an extra candle in the candlestick.

Both candlesticks have a nice patina of age and normal signs of wear, suitable to their age and ecclesiastical origin. The candlesticks are offered as a set of two.
